Total Maximum Daily Loads for Lower Banister River

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) seek written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of an implementation plan (IP) for bacteria total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) on a 13.18 mile segment of the Lower Banister River from Elkhorn Creek to Banister Lake, the entire 9.66 miles of Polecat Creek, and 11.78 miles of Sandy Creek from Johns Run to its mouth. These portions of the Banister River watershed are located in Halifax County, including the Town of Halifax. The TMDL study for these stream impairments was completed in November 2007 and can be found in the Bacteria TMDLs for Banister River, Bearskin Creek, Cherrystone Creek, Polecat Creek, Stinking River, Sandy Creek, and Whitethorn Creek Watersheds study report on DEQ's website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/tmdl/apptmdls/roankrvr/banister.pdf.

Section 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires the development of an IP for approved TMDLs. The IP should provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. The IP should also include the corrective actions needed and their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts.

The final public meeting to discuss the development of the IP for the bacteria TMDLs will be held on Thursday, September 20, 2012, at 7 p.m. at the Mary M. Bethune Complex, 201 Cowford Road, Halifax, VA 24558. At this meeting, a draft of the implementation plan will be discussed and citizens will be able to offer input on and ask questions about the plan.

The 30-day public comment period on the information presented at the meeting will end on October 22, 2012. A fact sheet on the development of the IP is available upon request. Questions or information requests should be addressed to Heather Vereb, Department of Conservation and Recreation. Written comments and inquiries should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to Heather Vereb, Department of Conservation and Recreation, 8 Radford Street, Suite 102-A, Christiansburg, VA 24073, email heather.vereb@dcr.virginia.gov, telephone (540) 394-2586.

Total Maximum Daily Load for Moores Creek, Lodge Creek, Schenks Branch, and Meadow Creek

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) seek written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) and implementation plans (IPs) for Moores Creek, Lodge Creek, Schenks Branch, and Meadow Creek in the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County. These streams were listed on the 2006 and 2008 § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the state's general water quality standard (benthic) for aquatic life. The benthic impairment on Schenks Branch extends 1.138 miles from the headwaters of its tributaries to the Meadow Creek confluence. Meadow Creek is benthically impaired from where it becomes a perennial stream to its confluence with the Rivanna River (4 miles). The benthic impairment on Moores Creek extends 6.377 miles from its confluence with the Ragged Mountain Dam receiving stream downstream to its confluence with the Rivanna River. The Moores Creek watershed includes the tributary locally known as Lodge Creek, which is benthically impaired for 1.57 miles from its headwaters to the confluence with Moores Creek. All four of these impairments were determined to be caused by excess sedimentation.

Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia require DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. In addition, § 62.1-44.19:7.C of the Code of Virginia requires the development of an IP for approved TMDLs. The IP should provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. The IP should also include the corrective actions needed and their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts. 

The third public meeting on the development of these TMDLs and IPs will be held on Thursday, September 20, 2012, 6 p.m. at the Downtown County Office Building (Board Room 241) located at 401 McIntire Road, Charlottesville, VA 29902. The TMDL document will be available on the DEQ website the day of the meeting for public comment and review: http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/TMDL/TMDLImplementation/TMDLImplementationPlans.aspx.

The public comment period for the third public meeting will end on October 22, 2012. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to Tara Sieber, Department of Environmental Quality, 4411 Early Road, P.O. Box 3000, Harrisonburg, VA 22801, telephone (540) 574-7870, FAX (540) 574-7878, or email tara.sieber@deq.virginia.gov.
